I chose to end with that quotation, not because of the precise regime in which it was first uttered, but rather because it speaks very powerfully to me about something which is true for all times: if you wait for someone else to do something, it may never be done, And when that something is important - as I believe the kind of silencing that people all over the U.S. are reporting - if you keep on waiting, just because something doesn't touch you personally, then the time may come when it's too late for anyone to do anything.
